In Florida, my heat pump WH keeps me below my consumption limits. Its also cools my garage so I can "add" the cost savings of buying and running a minisplit. My garage is considered another room in my house. What's even better is I found an 80 gallon AO Smith for $150.00 and its been running for 4 years! If it went I'd get another. During our "Winter" I'll run it in resistance only mode if it gets cold in the garage.

BTW - according to my Sense monitor its using 816 watts right now.
